So many people have grown up being taught to hate/discriminate people and beliefs that dont align with theirs, but we need to break that mold and educate people on how to be more open-minded because thats the only way we are able to grow as a nation. Always chose kindness, please

The torture Gina Haspel oversaw didn't keep us safe — it shattered lives, and America's reputation. It represented a depraved and lawless chapter in our history, and President Trump is trying to drag us backwards with rhetoric like this. https://t.co/JptHrLPTw1

Thank you to @ACLU for having lawyers out in Dallas to protect everyone’s freedom of speech. https://t.co/wpvgbaAm77

A reminder that we are still writing letters. DM me or @FLHSHumanRights if you have one written or have any questions. Again, we want everyone to participate in this program. So far, we have received only three letters, so your letter will be greatly appreciated. https://t.co/8kU4B8Kwbx

I’m so proud of the students from Liberty City for walking out today. We’re in this fight together...for the same, unfortunate reason. #NorthwesternWalkout

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Defending human rights should NOT put you behind bars. Our colleague and human rights defender #TanerKilic has been locked up for 300 days. That’s 300 days too many. Turkey: #FreeTaner now!

@RoccoDiaz4POTUS @flhsprincipal @MSDPickUpAPen We will be collecting letters by April 16.

[#NeverAgain: Pick Up A Pen @MSDPickUpAPen]

Hey everyone!

Continue to send us your letters until April 20 (the second collection date), but after, arrange to have the letters sent directly to your representatives! Pick Up A Pen will continue to advise you on how to be civically engaged! #PickUpAPen #NeverAgain

[FLHS Human Rights Club @FLHSHumanRights]

We want everyone to have the opportunity to write a letter, no matter how politically involved you are or how full your schedule is. Make your voices heard and tell Congress/WH to take proper action. Please read this and DM or reply w/ any questions @flhsprincipal @MSDPickUpAPen https://t.co/bzKGc4h0II

[Rocco Diaz @RoccoMDiaz]

Spring break is the perfect time for you to write those letters. Remember, the letters do not take long to write, as our only goal is for you to make your voices heard. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Read the attached thread for more information. If you want help... https://t.co/4dUAy2DfPV

#SaudiArabia had a few options:

Stop beheading people.
Stop lashing people.
Stop imprisoning human rights defenders.
Stop killing civilians in Yemen.

Or hire a PR agency.

Guess which they chose? https://t.co/lGf0azKtBl
